Polar plunge for the Veterans

Unfortunately, I never made it down to the lake this year to see the Splash and Dash in Racine, I did heard they had another great turn out!

BUT a friend and I did make it out to Eagle Lake to Eagle Lake Inn on the Lake where they held their 3rd Annual Polar Plunge for the Veterans.

The event drew crowds of people and (guessing) there had to be around 15 to 20 brave soles to take the challenge of plunging in to the icy cold water. Guessing again, the hole in the ice had to be 10’ x 8’. Jumpers entered on one end, made their way through the slushy ice water and where helped out on the opposite end. Their team members were laughing, but standing by with towels and blankets in hand.

Although I took many pictures, I have posted a few for your viewing pleasure.
